  1. I was in a big $5 tourney on stars, and i accidentally clicked raise when someone had made a substantial raise preflop... i had 7 3 diamonds.It got checked down to the river and i made a pair of threes, the flop was J high, rainbow........ Pretty sure i got lucky as hell when he missed w/ his AK. ended up putting me top 30 w/ about 300 left.

  2. Playing 1/2 NL at Windsor, down $100 already from the same ol same ol... then this hand comes up.I pick up pocket aces (first time in a casino) sitting with about $135UTG limps, i'm 3rd to act, i raise to $10 there are about 4 callers, including the UTG limper. Flop is beautifully harmless, K 8 7 rainbow.UTG checks, i bet 20, 2 callers including UTG.Turn is a 7, pairing the board. UTG checks. I bet 20, other player folds, UTG calls.RIver comes 4. UTG checks, i bet 30, he check raises all in, i call, being pot commmitted.He flips up 7 4 diamonds for the runner runner boat.Here's what i think i did wrong in the hand. Preflop, my friends were telling me i needed to raise more... I believe that's a judgement call, i was in early position, and i didn't want action from 5 players, but i still wanted people in the pot. The other place where i KNOW i faultered was the river. He check raised me... i remember thinking during the hand the golden rule "don't bet a weak hand on the river, because you're only going to get called by a better hand, or get raised." Had i checked behind him, i would have saved about $50, still a loss from when i started the hand, but not down to $14 like i ended up. Any criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

Did he just make a 'terrible' call on the river w/ ace high, or was i just incredibly easy to read???My beef w/ this hand is... bottom line, i put him on an ace high flush draw. He didn't even have that, he had nil. I don't believe he had any tell on me, and my limp/call IMO means either suited connectors or pair, and he still called me for all my money w/ ACE HIGH!flame away.

  6. I'm moving up in the FCP grid, a post i started went to two pages! w00t...And the conclusion i reach from everyone's input is this: -Hoyt's all in move was insane and a bad play-D'agostino's call was lucky, being a huge favorite, but he got incredibly unlucky.Hoyt could have easily had AK and wanted to simply take Dago's blind since he was out of position for the rest of the hand. In that case, D'ago was only a coin flip, for a majority of his chips. I know you need to win in spots like that... Hoyt was stupid because he's going all in against a blind hand. I mean, he's obviously playing the person here, but if D'ago had AA (sure, hoyt still would have won) he's definitely calling. The call w/ 10 10 there was a great call, he just got unlucky. I don't think D'ago deserves to be flamed for his call, i mean, if Hoyt moved w/ a weak ace, such as A9os, then D'ago is still ahead. Tough break for D'ago, especially the next hand whne his KK gets murdered by two, count em, two flopped sets. I don't like Hoyt.

  7. What would be the official ruling in a situation like this? Usually, at our tuesday game, we allow the player who hasn't called the raise yet to decide if they are going to, and simply play it out... I'm almost positive this is wrong, but how would one go about remedying this situation. (when one or more cards of the flop comes out prematurely)?

  8. Why risk doubling him up w/ a marginal hand.... wait for a better one, just because you have a lot more chips than him doesn't mean it's ok to donk off some more w/ 7 2 suited...Or call w/ it and outdraw his AK... whatever.^ ^

  9. I've seen beats this bad in live play (like most of you) and usually, verbal bashing is what comes from it. I know no pro in their right mind would do such a thing at a final table (well, a few for table talk, but now w/ bad beats). DAGO didn't say a word to Hoyt Corkins, and i think that is admirable. I would have done exactly what DAGO did. I understand that you have to make plays on people to accumulate chips (not really, but you might find the need to sooner or late) But Hoyt, having almost as many chips as DAGO, Made a huge misjudgement in going all in w/ 78 suited. If DAGO wakes up w/ AA, KK, QQ, or any other higher PP, (which he had 10's) then he's a huge dog in that hand. Why take the risk to pick up the blinds, especially when you have plenty of chips????Hoyt got paid off on a bad move, which obv happens, otherwise we wouldn't see donkeys like Aaron Kanter at the ME final table, or Joe Stillman making it deep into the money. (I'm not saying hoyt's a donkey, his move resembled one, in my opinion.)

  10. I'm sure some of you have seen this, where John D'agostino goes into the Final Table and ends up placing something like 5th, because of a huge outdraw from Hoyt Corkins. The hand went something like this.Not sure of position, i think hoyt was on the button w/ 7 8 suited, and went all in to steal the blinds. D'agostino woke up w/ 10 10 and called the all in (it might have been a different betting pattern, i watched this at 4:30 am last night and i don't recall specifics)Basically Hoyt flops trip 7's, and to add insult to injury, the 4th 7 falls on the turn. After the chips were counted, D'agostino ends up w/ one chip left, and as the chips are being transferred, D'agostino shoves the chips messily towards Hoyt, knocking over the stacks. The announcers commented that this was unnecessary, something a pro wouldn't do, because bad beats happen, and that it was very unprofessional.If that were me, i would simply call hoyt a luck box and simply order the most alcoholic beverage, and then watch my KK lose to JJ and QQ... hmm.Any thoughts of what would happen if YOU were in that situation, where your enormous chip lead was taken away when you were.... whatever favorite you would be w/ a pair against two undercards?
